Yeah another problem is the capacitors are were old and re-purposed used/obsolete, etc. There is limit on how many farads can be squeezed out.in a given time and when you exceed manufacturer design, fires happen.
So do the capacitors and connecting cables. Impressive to watch buss bars vaporize. :) i am at a low 3% efficiency, but if i can get that wasted heat to the target, yowza..
In my own case, just more productive uses of my time than blogging about politics.. I am pleased to report my first test of a home built phaser 'rifle' was a partial success. At 100 yards the AR500 3/4" target was holed with a 100th second burst. [A small steam burst and a lava spot on the hill behind.] That was the good part. Sadly the 1,400 pound prototype 'rifle' promptly self destructed and incinerated itself along with the nearby capacitors powering it. The amount of wattage needed to be released in a fraction of a second guarantees that the innate resistance of copper conductors guarantees immolation. Still reducing the 'rifle' weight from 3.5 tons to less than 1 has to be viewed as a good thing. Super conductors may be the solution, but the added weight of cooling apparatus would be a step backwards. Better materials need invention. I may not live to see the goal of a multi shot 8 pound phaser rifle, but it comes.
I have heard the current occupier of the White House called many things, but before today never have I seen or heard anyone be so s t u p i d as to accuse Donald Trump of being a communist. He is many things, but a communist? Do you even know what a communist is?
A lot of really good looking women are attracted to men who they believe are successful and financially well off. Strangely a lot of very successful men are attracted to good looking women. It has been learned one way for a male (or female) to advertise they are successful and quite probably worth spending time with or having children with is to own a Ferrari or a Lamborgini.
Here in Northern VA not too far from Washington, DC's centers of power there are more than a few Lamborgini, Ferraris, upper end Mercedes and even an occasional Rolls Royce. I usually see one or the other any time I go to the store. Strangely the owners seem to drive normally and I don't see many wrecks involving those cars. What I do notice is there is often some very pretty young women riding along with the male drivers. Lucky dogs.
No, but if Maine (where your profile claims you are) complies with the National Building Code, at some point the work has to be inspected or it is just a non livable shack that has to be torn down and replaced before a bank will approve a residential loan for it. We can agree that as long as the house is not for sale as a house the quality of the electrical work does not matter. But someday, barring a fire or an earthquake, it will be for sale. Then the building inspector will come to check and report on what is up to code, and what is not. Likewise should you decide to Section 8 HUD the properties a qualified engineer to do the pre-approval inspection is part of the application process. Been there, done that.
That covered, please explain "...with state rules on entrance to the role of parenthood, including mandatory surgical sterilization,..,"
That seems so self defeating to purpose regarding entering parenthood.
The Democrats should be careful they forget that our of respect and a sense of unity Republicans never challenged Democratic President's declarations of Emergency in court. But should the Democrats continue on their path, well, they may find that what is good for the goose is good for the gander too.
It is all about which God. Odin is popular this week, so is Darkseid. Noting also some worship Kal El as a God, but he denies it. When or if we worship the rooster Haile Selasie returned as, we should of course also wonder where he sits, is he higher than Rama, or is he equal. Is there a Pantatheon of Gods? One should note that Jehovah himself declared himself to be a jealous God. That implies he is not unique, or why would he be jealous if no one else was like him?
